Bitcoin's $1 Million Target Faces Reality Check

Markus Thielen of 10x Research has challenged optimistic forecasts predicting Bitcoin will hit $1 million by 2030. According to him, achieving this price would require a 16x increase and a market capitalization of $20 trillion. He argues that global liquidity cannot support such a drastic rise.

Thielen's analysis shifts the perception of Bitcoin from a 'digital gold' to a volatile growth asset influenced by macroeconomic liquidity. This view marks a maturation in how institutions approach crypto investments, forcing investors to reconsider leverage and speculative positions, especially in derivatives and altcoins.
